Abstract

Grant High School mathematics teachers provide an intensive mathematics program by giving students double periods of mathematics for two years. In the two years, the students completed three years' worth of mathematics—Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, and Geometry. Need. Grant High School teachers noticed that their Pre-Algebra students were predominantly ethnic minorities, while their Precalculus students were predominantly white. The teachers wanted to change their practices to ensure that all students gained access to the same mathematics curriculum and education opportunities. Goal. The goal of Grant High School's two-year mathematics program was to help students who entered high school behind in mathematics to catch up, pass the Oregon high school math assessment, enroll in higher-level mathematics courses while in high school, and enroll in non-remedial post-secondary mathematics courses.
